@@flyhigh9944 Hi flyhigh. I've looked over the video for you and:
OBSOLETE (sort of):
- Regarding the Ghosh test from R v Ghosh, the Subjective part of the test is no longer required to prove by the prosecution. The Supreme Court decided that it did not accurately represent the law - Ivey v Genting Casinos [2017] UKSC 67. The Objective part of the Ghosh test, however, is still very much relevant.
ADDITIONAL RANDOM INFO:
- Regarding taking property to make up for a debt, there is a little bit of wiggle room for how much the taken property is worth before it becomes dishonest. For example, if there is a debt of £100, and the defendant takes property worth £105 for the debt, it's still not dishonest. However, if the property taken was £500 for example, the Courts would not accept it, and it would be found to be dishonest.
- Weirdly specific, but if a neighbour has a tree which has a branch coming over your fence and into your property, you can remove the branch up to where your property ends, as long as you give it back to the neighbour. Usually though branches can't be removed if you don't own the tree.
- In a shop for example, the moment you pick up an item off the shelf, you have appropriated that property.
